What Makes a Vehicle Good in the Snow?
Several key features help a vehicle perform well in winter driving conditions. Four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) improves traction on slick surfaces by sending power to all four wheels. Extra ground clearance helps keep the undercarriage clear of deep snow. Winter tires with special tread patterns provide extra grip on snow and ice. Heated seats, steering wheels and mirrors add comfort and improve visibility. Advanced safety technologies like traction control, stability control, ABS, and brake assistance help you maintain control in slippery conditions.
When shopping for a winter vehicle in East Patchogue, look for models with the right combination of capability and comfort features to meet your needs. Prioritize four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive for the best all-weather traction.
